As myths go, apparently if you butter toast, and it falls, it is supposed to land butter-side down no matter what. And, cats are supposed to land on their feet no matter what. So.... Cat+piece of buttered toast strapped to its back=antigravity? Where is my cat? And where is the bread? (and 329 days until BrickFair!)
I went into nationals ranked 21st out of 24 with a best of 11' 3". And I finished yesterday placing 10th and vaulting 11' 9"!!! *continues to run around shrieking with glee* It was awesome! I came in at the opening height (11' 3"). It took me until my third attempt at it to clear it, and man, I cleared it. Same with the next height 11' 9": I cleared it on my first attempt by a ton! A giant (somewhat sarcastic and highly annoyed) thank you to Concordia for giving us the wrong pole, which
(30"x40", charcoal on paper) My final for Drawing II was to create an image with deep space and a figure, and wow, I think the Chris Van Allsburg influence really showed in this one. I kind of want to start doing more drawings (or maybe even paintings) based off of one sentence that would also serve as the title, like in his book The Mysteries of Harris Burdick. The problem is making up creative single sentences that could give me enough to work with (because the one I made up for this one isn
If you are making a blog due to the anniversary week, please continue to abide by the blog rules. Heck, going and reading through the blog rules would be a great idea! Because, seriously, if I run into you at BrickFair, and you've been breaking any blog rules in your newly made blog, I'll cough in your direction or casually take a sip from your cup. And that will not be a good thing for you. Because I apparently have had mono for the past month or so. Hooray! Also, Bink send me this a while
The last four years of college have led to me making some pretty ridiculous/awesome Halloween costumes, so I decided to make an entry that lumped all of them together with what I did this year. 2008: Sarah Palin! 2009: Newspaper dress! This dress successfully won me a mountain bike in a costume contest. It helped that I uttered the phrase "finally there's something good in the newspaper" to the judges. 2010: Nike, Goddess of Victory! Plus Steve Prefontaine, Coach Radcliff, and Kenjon Bar
Heyyyyy people. The blog's all shiny and stuff now. Hope it is up to everyone's expectations. Because I remember people being all "go make your blog look nice and whatnot". Going to bed now, as it is one in the morning here.
Muggy. Soooo muggy. I forgot how muggy it gets in this part of the country. Oh my gosh, Indiana and Ohio make it feel like you're swimming in a pool the second you step outside. And the fact that it's warmer at night here than it ever has been at college any time this year is kind of hilarious. Another team is watching some game or something on the television here and they are LOUD. You might be able to hear them from where you are. Also: apparently when I travel on planes for long distances
Ok, no more questions. LAST CHANCE PEOPLE. GET SOME QUESTIONS IN BEFORE ITS TOO LATE. IT'S TIME TO PM ME SOME QUESTIONS FOR THE BZPOWERCAST BECAUSE I AM GOING TO ANSWER QUESTIONS ON IT.

There's a lot of people graduating from various establishments of education that I know, which is quite exciting. Let's see....my brother, EW, Lady K, Black Six, a ton of seniors on the track team....congrats to all of you! You are all so amazing. My brother's high school class had well over 600 graduates in it (craaaazy). I thought my graduation took ages, and we only had five hundred-something. Here's the finished car-card! This was fun to try to paint while I was attempting to hide it fro
A few weeks ago I applied for a model shop assistant job at LEGOLAND, CA. Last week, I got an email from their HR department, which lead to a phone call asking if I would come down for a group interview on that Friday. I said yes, and Pat and I flew down that Thursday night for the group interview the next day. I did really well in the group interview and the building challenges in it, and a few hours later I did an individual interview. This past Monday, I found out that I got the job! We'll be
We've got a meet this weekend up in Spokane. Woo! Evidently WAOR is this huge meet where it's Oregon track teams versus Washington track teams in an all-out track battle for who will be the border clash champions. I'm competing in pole vault and the 200m (though my coach must have great faith in me for putting me in the 200, as there are gals on the team who are loads faster than me), but I think it'll be fun. I just have to not go all mental and psych myself out during vault like last prac
Bumped: If you're involved with this and you haven't PMed me or CF to confirm that you're making your pieces and that they'll be done in time for BrickFair, please do, before I start stressing out about this more. Thank you. Robin: Holy kanoka, Batman! The Kopaka mosaic and the Onua mosaic are completely filled up! Batman: That's right, Robin. We better make sure that our pieces are sent in in time if we're not going to go to BrickFair! Robin: Holy cuttlefish, Batman! Where do we send our piec
Pimp my Blog 2!!! Us sexy blog staff have got another blog contest going on, so go enter. It's totally awesome. B) Also: OH MY GOD RENE IS HERE. YEAH. PARTY TIME. (and 135 days until BrickFair!!!)
Read about it here, and make sure you abide by the blog rules, please and thank you! Two of my roommates and I got the house we were hoping to rent for next year. It's so cool: a pink victorian-style house with stained glass windows everywhere! The thing now is that we have to decide who gets what room. The problem is is that we're all slightly indecisive/don't really have a preference. We could technically all sleep quite comfortably in the second floor loft and then use the downstairs rooms
Get off my computer! NO PAT. JK LOL JK never mind. I think there's something fishy going on here... SHOO. BOTH OF YOU. And by that, I mean shoo into my blog entries and continue editing them! Smiley face! I am going to stab you with this fork. It's a fork of love. ..... Love wins. My squeak is not adorable! Yes it is. NO. It's even more adorable then when dogs have a bad dream and they whimper and twitch and you feel so bad for them but it's so darn adorable that you ju
The sudden occurrence of the past while is pretty much making up for never getting my Hogwarts acceptance letter. That owl is quite delayed....but this is like awesome because helping out is awesome, and this almost might be cooler. And I'm still kind of in shock here (on the plus side, I did eventually stop hyperventilating). Wow. So, thanks to the people who ever really thought I'd ever be decent enough to be even considered for something like this. I'll do my best! And congrats to Spink, Ir
19 now! Or, 6,940 days, 166,560 hours, or 9,993,600 minutes, depending on how you measure the passage of time. So, now what? I should probably be writing some sort of deeply sentimental entry about the wisdom I've gained through the past 19 years and all the awesome memories I have and how much I love all the wonderful people I know and then thank each and every one of them, but.... NOW IT IS TIME FOR CUPCAKES! Woo hoo! (not actually mine, I just think they're terribly cute) We shall se
